TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Factitious post traumatic stress disorder: a case report JO - Medicine, science, and the law A1 - Neal, L. A. A1 - Rose, M. C. SP - 352 EP - 354 VL - 35 IS - 4 N2 - A 24-year-old man presented with a convincing history of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). He claimed to be the victim of a widely publicized 'human bomb' attack by the IRA in Northern Ireland when he was serving with the armed forces. Psychometric tests for PTSD confirmed his symptoms. A subsequent check of public and military records demonstrated that he was a serviceman at that time, but showed conclusively that he could not have been present at the terrorist incident.
